Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 4 • Epsilon-Minus (semi-moron); he is slow-witted and all he can say is “roof”. He gets confused and must be told what to do if something changes in his routine. (50) • He is shorter, more of a loner, and a social outcast; attributed to too much alcohol in his blood-surrogate (52) • They both act outside of the norm. Watson wants to write and be creative – he is very smart, “a little too able” (57), Bernard is in love with Lenina, which is socially unacceptable; he also does not know how to act in social situations, so he is almost ostracized. • He wants to write; he also wonders what else is out there in the world. (59-60)

  2. Chapter 5 • To burn the bodies of the dead; the phosphorus is recovered and used for fertilizer. (63) • Rather than saying “love”, “baby” or “honey”. The song refers to a bottle, which is where the embryos are kept. • It has been drilled into her head so many times through hypnopaedia. (67) • From 12 to 17 • Solidarity Service is like a religious service; they praise Ford they listen to synthetic music, sing hymns and take soma, and repeat over and over until the soma kicks in. In this particular case, people claimed to see Ford, and Bernard fakes seeing him, just to fit in; as they become more intoxicated, a sexual frenzy ensues, “Orgy-Porgy.” • He fakes seeing Ford, then lies, saying that he thought the service was good; “had” Morgana Rothschild; this was supposed to be a good experience, but it only reminds him again of his separateness and inability to conform. (74)

  3. Chapter 6 • He wants to spend time together, alone, talking. (77) • Sleeping with her • They were caught in a storm; his date was missing and presumed dead, so the D.H.C. left. • Iceland • Liquid air, television, vibro-vacuum massage, radio, boiling caffeine solution, hot contraceptives and 8 different kinds of scent • His Eau de Cologne tap

  4.
